Bots on Parade
A parody of Bulls on Parade by Rage Against the Machine
A parody of Rage Against the Machine's "Bulls on Parade" about how security bots and Apple's Mail Privacy Protection flood dashboards with phantom opens. While marketers rally around vanity metrics, real inbox placement quietly rots behind a pocket full of bots.

Intro
Come wit' it now
Come wit' it now
Verse 1
The dashboard explodes, shatterin' the mold
Either pump the rates up high or watch your metrics drop
With the sure scan, sure to make the metrics jump
Opens gettin' padded, can't tell what's real or what's spoofed
Pixels fire phantom
Scannin' every link before a human's even on
That proxy parade goes on
The rotten core of all your KPIs gets bigger
The trigger's code, empty every figure
Chorus
Rally 'round the vanity
With a pocket full of bots
They rally 'round the vanity
With a pocket full of bots
They rally 'round the vanity
With a pocket full of bots
They rally 'round the vanity
With a pocket full of bots
Verse 2
Signals, not truth, not clicks, not proof
Not need, just feed the graph, algorithm skews it, I
Walk the funnel through the rubble
That used to be engagement, now ghosts behind the bubble
What we don't know keeps the reports alive and movin'
They don't gotta fake the clicks, they just pre-fetch 'em
While proxy servers hit every link as it sails
Rally 'round the vanity, pockets full of bots
Chorus
Rally 'round the vanity
With a pocket full of bots
They rally 'round the vanity
With a pocket full of bots
They rally 'round the vanity
With a pocket full of bots
They rally 'round the vanity
With a pocket full of bots
Post-Chorus
Bots on parade, uh
Outro
Come wit' it now
Come wit' it now
Bots on parade
Bots on parade
Bots on parade
Bots on parade
Bots on parade
Bots on parade
